AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
Yes, sadly I agree...
Also - how much time, energy, effort, and money has been wasted on this fool? Akin gave the dims a gift and they’ve ran with it. Not just in his race; but all Monday long we’re talking about this, instead of how craptastic our economy is.
I agree with your second statement. In your first sentence above, if you meant that candidates like Akin should have been better prepared before he went on that talk show, yes I also agree.
Excellent points! Probably why Rush just compared Akin to Biden. (Rush, a few minutes ago: "We don't need a Joe Biden on our side.")
I think he has to drop out. I just don’t like setting the precedent that the media can dictate who our candidate is, even after a primary. The media totally hype up stories while hiding others and create this stupid foaming mouth fervor. I mean, for Pete’s sake, I was ignoring anything Michelle Malkin posted because she had a huge argument over why her “estimated” numbers were more valid on rape than the police kept records. I get that rape isn’t always reported, but rapes that don’t happen also get reported. How do you factor that into “estimated” numbers?
Sometimes I’m depressed thinking about how we are all mere pawns of the media. Worse than that - we are the media’s version of Pavlov’s dogs.
If the Dim Party candidate in Tennessee is any indication, it is up to Akin. The state Party sued to remove a candidate and lost. They have to do their vetting before the candidate is allowed on the ballot for the primary.
The media still has tremendous power in that it can choose to either ignore or magnify an issue in order to drive an agenda. And isn’t it remarkable how unified the MSM is when it involves trying to take down a Republican?
This is more offensive to me than Akin:

the question is - was it stoopid enough
‘naked babies arouse me’ is something stoopid too - people are disagreeing about if his statement rises to the point where he should step aside
So, who would take Akin’s place if he resigns today??
The problem with Akin boils down to this: He said something stupid -- and said it stupidly -- yes. But he also single-handedly reversed the momentum of the national race.
Prior to Akin, all the conversation concerned how poorly Obama and the Democrats were doing -- in the polls, fundraising, etc. -- and just how badly they might be beaten.
Post-Akin, the conversation is all about him! -- and all the damage he could do to the Republican brand...and how he risks not only the Senate seat, but the Senate, the state and, maybe, even the Presidency. And, of course, how the GOP is anti-woman.
Akin could single-handedly do more damage to America -- not to mention the Pro-Life movement -- than even President Obama has done so far. It's not about abortion -- it's about political stupidity.
MO GOP has 2 weeks to decide.
Ok, I was probably asleep by then-my station plays it from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.-so I apparently missed that part. But I agree-he was trying to be even-handed about the whole thing.
if obamacare is fully implemented - it will NEVER be repealed - no entitlement is ever repealed
